Su Ruoruan, a gentle beauty from the south, was pressured by her family to marry. She fled all the way to a northern island to seek refuge with her uncle, only to be scammed at the train station. Penniless, she was about to freeze to death.
At the crucial moment, Qin Lie, a six-foot-three soldier in uniform, happened to pass by and scooped the tiny, huddled-up girl who looked like a kitten into his jeep.
Qin Lie was notorious as the “Living King of Hell”: cold-faced and hard-hearted. After being injured on a mission, he was diagnosed as permanently infertile and planned to spend the rest of his life alone.
When Su Ruoruan woke up, she clung to this fearsome man as her lifeline and pleaded in a soft voice, “Uncle, please don't leave me behind.”
Looking at her little face, no bigger than his palm, Qin Lie's heart melted.
The army arranged matchmaking dates for Qin Lie, but he turned them all down. Hoping to repay him (though really because she was smitten with his looks and needed somewhere to survive), Su Ruoruan worked up the courage to ask, blushing, “Brother Qin, would you consider me? I don't eat much, and I'm easy to take care of.”
After they married, everyone in the military compound bet that the delicate southern girl wouldn't be able to put up with Qin Lie's cold, hard temper, and certainly wouldn't stay with a man who couldn't have children.
But Su Ruoruan came with a “lucky charm constitution” and an “affinity for animals.”
She could find top-grade abalone while foraging by the sea, and wild pheasants would run into trees for her in the mountains.
Most importantly, Qin Lie's “infertility” was miraculously cured without medicine, thanks to Su Ruoruan's careful care and her incredible good luck!
And within three years, Su Ruoruan had two children. The man known as the cold-faced King of Hell spoiled her into a little princess who couldn't take care of herself.
This is a really good story. Keep up the good work, author!
